the world's chemical watchdog sets a deadline for the elimination of syria's chemical arsenal but what country will host the destruction of the toxic stockpile remains unknown. they should've probably sent him a paycheck and sort of sending him to prison for the next ten years doing time for truth hacker jeremy hammond gets a decade behind bars for leaking the private security documents but there are claims he was led to do so by the f.b.i. . and there may be no homecoming for fukushima evacuees as the authorities come under pressure to admit that the areas around the crippled nuclear plant may never become safe. the average level. only with one exception the place where i'm at right now more than ten thousand

people are currently living. we report on how the radiation scare haunts people in the nearby towns declared by the authorities as livable. and broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is on t.v. i'm john thomas going to have you with us now according to the chemical weapons watchdogs newly adopted framework the most toxic arms in syria's arsenal are to be taken out of the country by the end of the year but the debate continues over what nation should host of the destruction of the more than one thousand tons of highly poisonous materials so far it looks unlikely that there are going to be any volunteers as our middle east correspondent reports. the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons has laid out

a road map for the removal and the destruction of syria's chemical weapons the problem though is that they were banking on albania to take these weapons in and albania has since indicated that it will not be party to this this decision in this announcement by albania came as a shock to the united states and the european union of the union is seen as a very strong partner with a so-called and shakable alliance to the waste it is also a very poor country but there were wide scale protests in albania with people saying that they refuse to allow the government to be party to taking in the weapons from syria now the problem is that only a norway also indicated that it would not allow these weapons to be brought to shore no way however saying that it will send a ship that will help with transferring the weapons to wherever they are taken but this is the problem it's not yet clear where in fact they will be taken and the latest word from the united states is that it has other options on the table but no indication as to what these options off this is

a very ambitious timeframe that has been saved by the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons it says that by the end of march next year most of syria's chemical weapons will have been destroyed and that by the end of june all of them will have been destroyed but again it seems that if it's facing an uphill battle not least of all with the decision as to where in fact to destroy these weapons or to his policy we are reporting for us there now france and belgium are among the possible destinations for syria's chemical stockpile for the first journalist robert harness explains why a pairs would probably have to agree avast. the reason why france is a previous candidate is that france has a considerable program running all the time disposing of chemical weapons left over from the second world war which keep being uncovered so they have the technical capacity to deal with the problem there are political reasons why they might not want to get involved because it's a sort of recognition of the bashar al assad government which france is but the

last government to want to do so they they made a lot of it but they may also be under pressure for the americans to be helpful my guess is that france will say yes because they'll want to look positive the trap for the french apart from the fact that they have here to be recognizing bashar al assad whom they have spent months and years decrying on every possible ground is that says the public may well say that if france minded the sound business in the first place they wouldn't be in this awkward position of now having to be helpful over chemical weapons even if it doesn't hosted the elimination of syria's chemical weapons the e.u. is still getting involved in the issue iraq and surge in the number of its citizens going to the country to join the ranks of the islamist opposition is sending alarm bells ringing across the continent more and more muslims europeans are promoting jihad duty on social networks as artie's tests are silly or imports. i am french born to french parents my parents are atheist and do not subscribe to

any religion praise be to allah who guided me. nicola now calls himself. having found islam on the internet in two thousand and nine in this video he's urging muslims to join the fight in syria is younger brother john daniel was persuaded to join up too but he was later killed in aleppo. françois alone for to convert to islam it will save your soul from hell fire. for you and this is just one of many such videos online of young europeans calling their peers to arms french and western intelligence services have intensified their warnings and europeans heading to syria to fight nowadays they've noticed not all the extra rise in the number of individuals heading over there but also in the kind of people who are joining the fight they say that more and more they are more committed to the struggle and upon their return to europe there's still no clear cut way to deal radicalize these individuals estimates put the number of europeans

fighting in syria between five hundred and seven hundred most of whom are from the u.k. and france and france is the more newspaper quotes of french intelligence sources saying these levels are passed even those seen for afghanistan. many of the media joining the groups. in groups which nobody wants to are true aside to the global jihad rhetoric and share fully the project of many of them will get back in europe much more radical for the french the memory of the terror attack by frenchman mohamed merah that killed seven people is still fresh fears of a repeat one radicalized young men returned to france most of those people native french people traveled to afghanistan and pakistan. not to

arrest him. on grounds that he had been fighting again against an auto training's in the summer of germany's interior minister suggested a temporary ban on fighters returning home belgium on the other hand had been working with turkish authorities to bring their nationals back and western europe have already been made but there still isn't a one size fits all solution and the terror chief says nor could there be the difficulty for me. determining who's a potential threat and who isn't tesser is still there r t paris. to japan now where it is likely that the thousands of people who were evacuated from fukushima neighborhoods will not be able to return to their homes a group of those are now pressing the government to admit that the costly cleanup that is about to be launched at the nuclear plant won't make the areas around it any safer now so far the authorities have been playing down the health risks while

raising the acceptable radiation levels ideally they should be about one milli sieverts per year but tokyo now has the exposure level set at twenty times more than that in order to return back to their homes near fukushima in some of the worst affected areas though radiation detectors show measurements of around fifty times the recommended amount and that doctors say is half way to levels causing cancer. traveled to the nuclear. it's hard to say what gives you a creepier feeling the trail of destruction left by the twenty eleven tsunami all the houses untouched by natural disaster but abandoned after the nuclear accident walking through the deserted streets of the fukushima exclusion zone we can see plenty of both technically aware now well within. the we're just ten kilometers from the nuclear power station these houses ravaged by the tsunami in twenty eleven

still standing here nowhere near to being with stuart you'd be surprised to learn that radiation levels here are in fact lower than in some of the european cities and this prompted the decision by the japanese government to allow the people to return to their homes but scientists say that suicidal because radiation migrates and because it exists in hotspots scattered all across the area. in the hot spots there is a huge amount of the radioactive material it's concentrated stored it is almost impossible to find out all the hot spots. we actually stumbled upon this process radiated material from personal belongings to contaminated soil is put in plastic bags and buried the radiation meter when brazil even from a considerable distance imagine our surprise when we found similar levels in an area which had never been included in the no go zone i've traveled through the

church noble exclusion zone more than a dozen times and this was probably the scariest episode when we poured a radiation meter on the ground and a layer of loss and it produced more than eight hundred micro wrong hands per hour that is forty times more than the normal human radiation level here sixty kilometers took a shit when you clear parkland the readings are certainly less than that this is close to the average level of the goes down in the channel those zones only with one exception the place where i'm at right now more than ten thousand people are currently living. mrs morey's ono is one of them she bought a radiation meter and now patrols the area looking for hot spots we had after school classes for children at our house but had to close it because of high radiation. in her short life this girl has already got used to seeing a lot of radiation meters just like mrs her mother joined an ngo group of ordinary women united by fear for the future of their children and distrust of the

government's actions. we're sending our data to government and tepco officials every day and we get no reply i don't see an action from them as if they're trying to play down the scale of things meanwhile our children are already suffering from fire is. the voice of dissent is now intensifying despite assurances from tepco a spent nuclear fuel. all roads are removed from reactive for at fukushima daiichi . we have it under control it's a challenging process but we have the equipment to perform it anti-nuclear protesters in tokyo say no one should be allowed back into the fukushima area until it's completely safe which in truth may not happen for centuries their peak it has just eight hundred days and they will stay longer they say to force their government into rethinking its nuclear policies. reporting from japan. the man who revealed a very private security firm was spying on human rights groups on behalf of the us

government will spend the next decade in prison jeremy hammond has received the maximum possible sentence under a plea deal after hacking into intelligence company start for sending its internal e-mails to wiki leaks now he was originally looking at thirty years in prison because his leaks included customer information and their credit card numbers and never benefited financially from this breach so his main goal was to let the public know what exactly the government and intelligence companies are doing behind closed doors his lawyer says that happens case highlights the fact that more and more people are concerned about state surveillance. i think he was motivated by his political beliefs his desire for transparency and his desire to highlight what's wrong with the private security industry and with government surveillance i you know i i think that those are deeply held beliefs. in history where a lot of people are standing up and taking the risks that jeremy took this is

a growing area of concern and debate and our world view is changing as. jeremy's conduct in this case. hammond says that a hacker known as who turned out to be an f.b.i. informant asked him to target start for david seaman is an independent journalist who has been following the case he told r.t. that there's no way should be in prison right now if he was a victim of entrapment he was approached by an f.b.i. informant this came out an article in wired magazine this f.b.i. informant is apparently the one who quote unquote cheer lead jeremy into hacking into this organization this f.b.i. informant also allegedly gave them a list of other targets that jeremy should go after and which he did not go after and when c. once he received the information he apparently downloaded it to an f.b.i. controlled server at the request of this f.b.i. informant so if this was basically an f.b.i. operation they should have probably sent him a paycheck and sort of sending him to prison for the next ten years we're caught up

anymore i mean it just doesn't happen really. in the course of interrogation why because there's been this is lightman know because the psychological techniques are more effective in obtaining confessions than physical abuse and they were off taking they could get what they wanted they can say what they wanted and there was no evidence of what they did or what they said. pick your country iraq afghanistan libya saudi arabia israel egypt syria turkey and even iraq and then each washington finds itself either the odd man out leaving alone or leading from behind in a muddled pack is the us simply out of touch or is history in the region merely being on. the welcome back you're watching on t.v. now a terrorist killed along with other militants and

political changes. the atlantic ocean feels like it's gotten a little bit wider since america was prying where it shouldn't have against europeans who considered washington a close friend or cheeseburger oliver has been talking to a prominent austrian politician about how far the bonds are being stretched these days. public relationship between the european union and the united states seems to have hit something of a rocky patch of late and that's why i've come here to vienna to meet with a former european leader and gauge his opinion on the current situation. wolf and sure sol was the chancellor of austria between two thousand and two thousand and seven he remains very involved in both international and european affairs. thank you very much for talking to us just how damaging has the n.s.a. spying scandal been for e.u. u.s. relations it affected the public perception more than in the perceptions among

politicians everybody who is a professional politician knows that all countries are looking around for information and information is the fact that the currency can be polluted area arena but the public perception was completely different because of the public perception is in germany is america is our friend and you should never spy on your friend like what. you said that's good guy and we know this cannot happen and should not happen is it possible or even healthy for an idea of american exceptionalism to exist in the modern age i don't think that. someone is exceptional that of course some think they are exceptional but they are not everybody is exceptional or we are equals we are brothers and sisters and you can be larger or you can be more powerful economic alou militarily but at the end we

are no longer individual builds on the notion we are on the same ship and we have to steer this same ship we have to fire him. to find the key because to the future this is the important thing and exceptionalism is a rather dangerous think is a little bit outdated by the way to concept of the nineteenth century and the twenty first century i think we are equals sped up and coming your way after the break caught on camera when us police go too far during interrogations that's next for our international audience but meanwhile for our british yours we have our new show sputnik you're watching r t stay with us. president obama despite being king liberal loves to flatter the troops he loves

their courage selflessness and teamwork as he said in his state of the union address but he doesn't love their expensive injuries which the troops are going to have to pay three times more for according to yahoo news the president's administration wants to force military retirees to get out of tri-care their current plan and added to obamacare the plan calls for them to raise premiums from up to ninety to three hundred forty five percent within five years one example provided by the free beacon estimates that a retired army colonel with a family currently paid four hundred sixty dollars a year for health care would have to pay around two thousand dollars make you pay even more for your war injuries apparently that's what obama's actually planning while he is reading those lovely speeches off of teleprompters people who are against the post nine eleven war against who knows what are often told that they don't support the troops well to the people who say bring the troops home never advocate tripling their health care premiums no they don't all of the chicken hawks who send the troops off to die in questionable wars are the ones who want to make them pay even more for their injuries but that's just my opinion.

the crime is that a viola man voom a seventy four year old woman found dead on the twenty ninth of november one thousand nine hundred eighty eight along the track. dozens of suspects will be questions and all will be released including frank sterling seen in this photograph . two years later detectives trained by reed to reopen the case not convinced frank is guilty. a few years earlier his brother had been sentenced to prison for raping viola manning and frank sterling is thought to. have wanted revenge. the police are relentless and pressed until he cracks. eleventh of july one thousand nine hundred ninety one an exhausted frank admits to the mud his confession is recorded.

many years later of a four year old girl is arrested he confesses to the murder of viola manning and traces of his d.n.a. confirm the fact. frank stirling is released on the twenty eighth of april two thousand and ten after serving nineteen years now age fifty four frank has become frail and anxious and finds it hard to talk about his feelings. april twenty eighth two thousand and ten the day i get released. the. freedom. for frank sterling obtained his freedom largely due to the vigorous efforts of his lawyer donald thompson under the war where the question remains why did he ever confess to a crime he never committed. and police officers don't beat people anymore i mean it

just doesn't happen really. in a court of interrogation because there's been a sad light moment no because a psychological techniques are more effective in obtaining confessions than physical abuse. in the case of frank stirling only his confession was filmed but the video speaks for itself the two policemen had applied to read method as well as some of their own making. they offering coffee and donuts to prepare frank sterling for his final declaration of guilt. but what had gone on before. i remember the back rows and fashions folders. trying to be all buddy buddy and we're here for. this.
